How can governments stop police brutality?
investigations needs to be done in p.departments and those involved to be brought to justice.
@@puurypure sorry but that will never going to happen in any african States
I lived there, they do not want to, it suits their purpose, by African standards Kenya is one of the more liveable countries on the continent. Still a tribal system where national interest's runs distant 3rd to family & tribal loyalties. They can not agree or trust each other, in my time there not usual for local people to seek the help of a western arbiter to impartially resolve issues.
Well, I am really beginning to understand the magnitude to which police brutality has gotten to within our country. I have been kidnapped by cops this year, wrongfully detained under false charges, and also forcefully evicted from my house without a court order as a result of an order issued by a police inspector. Where will we sort justice? This is just a tip of the iceberg on how much many others may have undergone while in the hands of police officers.
I will literally watch any interview, debate or discussion moderated by Edith Kimani, she has to be one of the best moderators/presenters on TV right now. She's even better than some people who have been on CNN for 20 years
Sounds like the perfect combination for this country.
This is disheartening. I really wanted to visit Kenya. I hope police aren't as unaccountable and immune from prosecution there as they are in the US.
My question is, is it safe for Black people in the western world to travel to Kenya. I certainly would not be going to Kenya.
From the way this was being talked about, it sounds like the police killings may be linked to a concerted effort to control gang violence as well as businesses buying out police officers for retribution. If those are the primary forces behind police brutality in Kenya, it may in fact be safer to travel there, because the goal is to protect profits, and tourism is profitable.
What is happening in Kenya is what happens in a dictatorship. United Nations intervention is required to stop these abuses.
There is no excuse for police brutality and murder. But, obey the law when it come to disease epidemic management. In the U.S. we have 212,000 deaths because the leader, his administration and too many people are disobeying.
